Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be located in the UK to join?

You can join from any location as long as you can organise your own transfers to the UK. We can assist you with onward transfers from when you arrive here in the UK.

What is the average size of the group at the getaway?

Because Santalan is an exclusive, bespoke and personalised coaching programme we limit the group size to no more than 12.

What is the daily itinerary?

The itinerary is a rich mix of activities and learning and includes time to focus on well-being and relaxation. Starting at lunchtime on day one, we finish around lunchtime on day four.

Does the stay cater for specific dietary needs?

Yes a questionnaire will be sent out to you ahead of the retreat so any dietary requirements can be well accommodated.

If I can’t make the dates, is the fee refundable?

We appreciate that sometimes plans may need to change, so we allow one date change for flexibility. The fee paid however is non-refundable.

What if I only want to go to the retreat or only have the coaching?

Santalan is a 12-month immersion and coaching programme designed for maximum impact and your success. Its uniqueness comes from the transformational goals set on the retreat which are then mindfully implemented over the next year with the support of expert coaches.

Can I share with someone or is it a private room for everyone?

Prices are based on single occupancy but should you wish to share one of the rooms, prices are available on request. However please note that bedrooms offer only double beds.

Are transfers included?

Transfers to and from Darsham train station are included.

Are all costs included?

All meals, accommodation and activities are included in the price along with your twelve monthly coaching sessions. Transfers to and from Darsham train station are also included. Spa treatments are available but not included in the cost.

What should I pack?

You just need clothes you feel comfortable in that can take you from morning through to evening meal. It’s a good idea to bring along comfortable wear for early morning exercising, footwear for walking and swimwear if you’d like to try paddle boarding or water activities. We don’t judge each other here - this is a safe place to bond, support each other and be yourself.

What might my 12 month coaching schedule look like?

Your own coaching schedule will be different to everyone else’s. That’s because it’ll reflect your own specific goals and the steps you need to take to get there. Built on the strong foundations established during your 4 day getaway, your scheduled coaching input will be planned and coordinated for optimum effect, aligned with your areas of priority.

Take Amelia for example:
Amelia’s goals are to build her confidence, look better, enhance her own personal brand and get a promotion at work. Having go to know Amelia well over 4 days, our coaching team put together the perfect schedule over 12 months involving the input of 4 of our specialist coaches who will help her achieve those different but interrelated goals…
